Definitions
- This invention relates to video scanning equipment and facsimilie equipment, and more particularly to apparatus for illuminating documents to be scanned for digitization and/or transmission
- video scanning and facsimilie equipment typically utilize lighting arrangements to illuminate documents to be scanned for digitization and/or transmission.
- the lighting arrangements are separate from the scanning equipment and the combination of the lighting equipment and the scanning equipment are relatively bulky and occupy the same amount of space whether the equipment is in use or not in use.
- the lighting equipment must be activated and deactivated separately from the scanning equipment which creates a relatively complex operation.
- the suppliers of the scanning equipment do not provide the lighting equipment which must be obtained by the owner/purchaser of the scanning equipment.
- a document scanner is attached to a horizotal arm member which is in turn attached to and movable up and down a vertical support member which in turn is attached to a tablet on which is placed a document to be scanned.
- the lighting equipment consists of two arms that are pivotally attached to the horizontal arm member and each arm has a light source attached to its outer non pivoting end.
- Each arm with a light is normally folded against the horizontal arm member for convenient storage when the video scanning arrangement is not in use, and the light arms are extended to move the light sources away from the horizontal arm member and the scanner when the video scanning arrangement is to be used.
- This provides a scanner and lighting arrangement that is relatively small and compact when the scanning equipment is not in use and therefore stored in a relatively small amount of space, but is easily and quickly set up for scanning and digitizing a document.
- the light sources lies in a horizontal plane parallel to that of the scanner and are automatically energized to illuminate a document on the tablet when the scanner is actuated to scan a document. This eliminates the need to manually and separately position the lights apart from positioning the scanner prior to scanning a document.
- FIG. 1 shows our novel combined scanner and lighting arrangement with the arm mounted lights folded against the scanner support structure to thereby provide for easy and compact storage of the lights;
- FIG. 2 shows our novel combined scanner and lighting arrangement with the arm mounted lights extended from the scanner support structure to thereby provide for convenient use of the lights.
- FIG. 1 In FIG. 1 is shown our novel combined scanner and lighting arrangement 10 with the arm mounted lights folded against the scanner support structure to thereby provide for easy and compact storage.
- Scanner and lighting arrangement 10 will normally sit on a table top or other surface on which the scanner will be utilized.
- the support structure comprises a tablet 11 which is the base of scanner and lighting arrangement 10 and it sits on the table top or other surface and supports the rest of the elements making up the support elements, the scanner and the lights. Tablet 11 is the surface upon which a document is placed to be scanned and digitized in a manner well known in the art.
- a vertical support member 12 (not shown in FIG. 1, but shown in FIG. 2 and described further in this specification) is fastened to tablet 11.
- Horizontal support member 12 need not be vertical to tablet 11 as shown, but may also be inclined at some angle to the vertical from tablet 11.
- Horizontal arm member 13 is hollow, is movably fastened to vertical support member 12 and is movable up and down vertical support member 12 for the purpose of adjusting the size of the area to be scanned by the scanner.
- member 13 is basically horizontal to tablet 11, but need not be. It may be at an angle to tablet 11.
- Horizontal arm member 13 is "L" shaped and has a hollow vertical portion 26 which telescopically slides over vertical support member 12 as may be seen when comparing FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Vertical support member 12 has a series of equally spaced grooves 21 as seen in FIG. 2.
- Vertical portion 26 of horizontal arm member 13 has a mechanism 22 fastened to the bottom thereof used for telescoping members 12 and 13.
- Mechanism 22 has two knobs 23 which are both connected to mechanism 22 and function therewith when the knobs are manually operated to telescope hollow vertical portion 20 and vertical support member 12. The operation of knobs 23 rotate teeth (not shown) within mechanism 22 to ride in grooves 21 to perform the telescoping action.
- FIG. 1 is shown horizontal support members 12 and 13 telescoped apart somewhat.
- the operator of scanner and lighting arrangement 10 adjusts knobs 23 to select the area of a document (not shown) on tablet 11 to be scanned. To scan a large area the operator turns knob 23 to move horizontal arm member 13 higher above tablet 11, and then operates lens 25 for focus. To scan a smaller area the operator turns knob 23 to move horizontal arm member 13 closer to tablet 11, and then operates lens 25 for focus.
- a scanner/digitizer 14 is mounted inside the outer end of horizontal support member 13 furthest from vertical support member 12. Scanner/digitizer 14 is not specifically shown as it is mounted inside the outer end of horizontal arm member 13 which is hollow but scanner/digitizer 14 is well known in the art so is not described in detail herein. Scanner 14 is only seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 by lens 25, and controls 24. Lens 25 on the bottom of scanner 14 focuses the image of a document (not shown) on tablet 11 onto a charge coupled device (CCD) array (not shown) within scanner/digitizer 14.
- CCD charge coupled device
- the CCD array is physically moved within arm member 13 so as to move it across the image plane of lens 25 and the CCD elements are then periodically scanned to sense a series of analog levels from the CCD elements which analog levels are digitized thereby generating a digital signal representing the document (not shown) on tablet 11 that has been scanned.
- the CCD array and the electromechanical and electronic circuitry associated with the scanning and digitizing function just described are all located in scanner 14 inside the outer end of horizontal arm member 13.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be seen two light arms 15 and 16 that are pivotally attached to horizontal arm member 13 at their ends that are furthest from vertical support member 12.
- FIG. 1 shows light arms 15 and 16 folded against horizontal arm member 13, while FIG. 2 shows light arm members 15 and 16 extended for illuminating a document (not shown) on tablet 11 to be scanned.
- On the end of arm 15 opposite its pivoting end is a light (not shown) inside a housing 17 which also has a reflector 18 therein for properly reflecting the light generated by the light inside housing 17 onto tablet 11.
- a light (not shown) in a housing 19 which also has a reflector 20 therein for properly reflecting the light generated by the light inside housing 19 onto tablet 11.
- Housings 17 and 19 serve the purpose of blocking stray light from the lamps therein (not shown) while using reflectors 18 and 20 which are mounted in these housings to reflect the light generated by the lamps onto the middle area of tablet 11 where a document is placed to be scanned.
- arms 15 and 16 are called light arms.
- the wiring for each of the lamps (not shown) inside housings 17 and 19 is within the respective one of light arms 15 and 16 and is routed to scanner 14 which is inside the hollow end of horizontal arm member 13 from where all the lights are controlled to illuminate a document on tablet 11 when the document is being scanned.
- scanner and lighting arrangement 10 When scanner and lighting arrangement 10 is not in use light arms 15 and 16 easily and quickly fold up against horizontal arm member 13, as shown in FIG. 1, in a compact manner so that scanner and lighting arrangement 10 takes up a minimal amount of space.
- light arms 15 and 16 are shown pivotally extended.
- the operator of scanner and lighting arrangement 10 extends light arms 15 and 16 when it is desired to use the scanner.
- the lamps in housings 17 and 19 are advantageously substantially the same distance away from a document (not shown) on tablet 11 and can never be closer to the document than scanner 14. In this manner light generated by the lamps inside housings 17 and 19 on the outer ends of light arms 15 and 26 respectively can never directly enter lens 25 and thereby interfere with the operation of the scanner.
- horizontal support member 13 is adjusted for height
- light arms 15 and 16 are simultaneously adjusted for height.
- On the front scanner 14 facing the operator are controls 24 for operating scanner 14.
- One of the controls 24, a target control, is used in conjunction with manually vertically adjusting scanner 14 for focus and locating the document site area to be scanned as described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 489,642, filed Apr. 28, 1983, entitled Scanner Document Positioning Device, filed in the names of An Wang and Burton McConchie, and assigned to the same assignee as this patent application. This patent application is incorporated herein by reference.
- a projection lamp (not shown) inside scanner 14 is energized for a brief time, such as thirty seconds, by timer circuitry which is a part of scanner 14.
- the energized projection lamp is energized an image indicating the site area to subsequently be scanned by scanner 14 is projected onto tablet 11.
- a document to be scanned is placed on tablet 11 so that the site image is projected onto the portion of the document desired to be scanned and digitized. If a larger area is to be scanned, knobs 23 are turned to raise horizontal support member 13 higher above tablet 11 and, in a manner well known in the art, the site image becomes larger.
- lens 25 is then rotated by the operator to sharply focus the site image.
- scanner and lighting arrangement 10 is ready to scan and digitize the document.
- the operater operates a Scan control 24 on the front of horizontal arm member 13 which thereby places the equipment in its scan and digitize mode.
- the electronic circuitry (not shown) of scanner 14 inside horizontal arm member 13 automatically energizes illumination lamps 17 and 19 on the ends of light arms 15 and 16, and other electronic circuitry is enabled to scan and digitize the document as it is known in the art.
- the end of scanning and digitizing the document lamps 17 and 19 are automatically extinguished by the circuitry of scanner 14.
- the scanner does not have to be enclosed within the horizontal support member, and the light arms may pivot on the scanner rather than the horizontal support member.
